What libcurl version?

That seems odd. But your example was way too complicated for me to fully
understand what you did and what libcurl would think of that. A typical POST
will (should) indeed include a Content-Length header but that is done by
libcurl automatically so I'm a bit puzzled how you could avoid that!

Can you make a very simple and small example that just sends a single POST
that gives you this error?

You need to consider that you send one Content-Type in the request and you
receive another one in the response. The fact that you got a response saying
that content-type may be in indication to a problem somewhere in your script,
but it is what the server sent back to you and it is hardly PHP/CURL's
fault...
